A big thank you to my parents—my kind and fun-loving mom and my source of eternal joy and love, my late father. I wouldn't be a quarter of the person I am without all that they have done for me and continue to do. Immense gratitude to my husband and daughter for all their love and for being my strongest supporters. I may be busier because of these two but I am definitely stronger and happier as well. To my in-laws for their love and encouragement. Thank you to my brother and his beautiful family for all the love and laughs that one can never have enough of.

A shout out to my BFF and beta reader Richa Sharma—the first person to hear the rough plot and read my 'crappy' drafts. Thank you for your never-ending patience. A very big thank you to Rubina Ramesh for being a mentor in the confusing field of self-publishing, and more than that for being such a good friend. Thank you to Nidhi Agarwal for beta reading and for being a wonderful friend.

A heartfelt thank you to Dola Basu Singh for her immense and invaluable contribution as my editor. Thank you for bringing out the best in my work.

A big shout out to all the members of TBC (The Book Club) for their immense support and helpful suggestions.

Thank you to Germancreative of Fiverr for the beautiful cover design.

Thank you to each and every one of you who has helped me in this journey. Your contributions are priceless to me.

And the biggest thank you to all my readers. You all enrich and empower the writer in me. Thank you for making me the author I am.

Note from the Author

My 'Wallflower Series' is an ode to historical romances I have enjoyed reading immensely. My love for historical romance started with 'Pride and Prejudice' and continues to date. Elizabeth Bennet was the first Wallflower I fell in love with.

"She might be on the shelf, but love doesn't pass her by in the end. These are romances where the heroine is a spinster, is on the shelf, or is considered an old maid by society (even if it's by choice). Also included are heroines who have limited marital prospects because they are wallflowers." ~ Goodreads

In the historical romances I read, I saw 'Wallflowers' as headstrong women with opinion and gumption to go against the stereotypes imposed by society. The kind of woman I am and the kind I know.

What is life without friends? I truly believe that friends are the family we choose. It was the story of two friends that birthed my bestselling 'Right and Wrong Series' and in the 'Wallflower Series' I give you four friends.

'A Hasty Hookup' is set in contemporary times and is the first book in this series. I hope you enjoy it as much as I enjoyed writing it. A humble request: please don't forget to leave a review (of any length) on Amazon and Goodreads. Reviews convey what this book meant to you, and is an immense source of encouragement to the author. So please do leave a review. Thank you and happy reading. J
